A Dream

Not a pretty picture, but a very pretty fish.

I once had a dream.
A dream where I was so frustrated at life I wanted to escape.
Walking along the river's edge I saw the fish swimming by.
I wanted to swim with the fish for awhile and leave life's worries behind.
I dreamt I swam with the fish for a year.
When I returned I had to decide whether I would stay with the fish
permanently or return to my life.
Life has it's ups and its downs and sometimes
can be very scary, sad, and happy too.
What would your choice be?

In the dream I chose to stay with my life,
not always easy; but it is mine to live.
I dream dreams of a better world, but
take life each day as it comes.

You know, I look back and think I really don't know what I would want different. I'd like that my parents lived longer or in better health or knew my life now. But that's part of the cycle. And I've learned and grown from everything. Sometimes I'd like to escape -- but not forever. Just for a few. One day at a time. Good rules to live by.

i think its a lovely picture... and i would choose to stay with my life... life follows you, everything in life is presented to you for you to choose, choose joy or misery but it's your choice. lifes has struggles but it is how you act during those struggles that will define how you experience life....blessings... one love...

Your last paragraph is the best of all... you chose to stay with your life! There are things I would like to change about my life if I could live it over, but if I didn't know what I know now, I would probably live it the same. Hope life is good for you.

About Me

Many things bring great delight to me: tea, gardens, flowers, outdoors, food, and friends that cross my path. These all make my heart sing with small chuckles, giggles, laughter, and tears. It is my desire to seek beauty all around me.
